“…This reduction of a direct, embodied connection to the physical world raises essential educational questions regarding deficits within the entire spectrum of the human senses in children and young people who are in their most critical stages of physiological/neurological development. The negative effects have been discussed in a wide range of pedagogical, psychological and neurological studies (see Turkle, 2011;Hübner, 2017Hübner, , 2019Koch et al, 2017;Twenge, 2017;Weinzirl et al, 2017;Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2018;Rittelmeyer, 2018;Lutzker, 2020a,b;Cardoso-Leite et al, 2021;Rideout et al, 2022).…”

One of the general concepts underlying Waldorf education is that teaching is an art. Although this idea is certainly not unique to Waldorf education, what is unique is the way it has been integrated into Waldorf teacher education. While Waldorf teacher education programs are diverse, both in national and international contexts, one of the central elements which they share is the prominent role which different forms of artistic practice play throughout the course of pre-service and in-service programs. This article explores the reasons and aims behind the inclusion of subjects such as music, sculpture, and speech in Waldorf teacher education, at first within the larger context of viewing different perspectives and justifications for the inclusion of the arts in teacher education outside of Waldorf pedagogy. In light of the educational challenges posed by widespread sensory deficits among children and adolescents, viewed here as being connected to the extensive role/s which different forms of digital media play in their lives, the case is made for the potentials of the arts as a way to address those deficits. In examining both the arguments for arts-based courses in teacher education and the pedagogical challenges of our times I propose a concept for the inclusion of the arts in teacher education connected to the concept of aesthesis, from the Ancient Greek concept of aisthésis, understood here as the primary perceptual-sensory basis of aesthetic experience. The integration of scientific courses with arts-based practice in teacher education is seen as providing a fruitful basis for teachers to be able to take on these educational challenges.

“…Although this topic is of particular interest, we are not aware of any other significant studies on the subject. The majority of studies focus on the relationship between technology use and academic performance which has been the subject of extensive controversial research in recent years considering the reported negative, positive, and null associations (Adelantado-Renau et al, 2019;Mundy et al, 2020;Cardoso-Leite et al, 2021;Morgan et al, 2021;Sampasa-Kanyinga et al, 2022;Tafesse, 2022).…”

This article presents a cross-sectional study that explores the association between artistic swimming and school engagement in a sample of 500 Italian adolescents. The study aimed to examine whether the practice of artistic swimming would foster strategic metacognitive skills. These skills, in turn, were hypothesized to positively influence school engagement and reduce recreational technology use, which could pose a risk to school engagement. The findings revealed that the relationship between artistic swimming and scholastic engagement, encompassing both cognitive and behavioral aspects, was entirely mediated by metacognitive strategies and reduced recreational technology usage. Moreover, students engaged in artistic swimming exhibited significantly higher levels of metacognitive strategies and scholastic engagement compared to their counterparts involved in other sports. The article also addresses the limitations inherent in the cross-sectional design and suggests potential avenues for future research.

“…Compared with the general VDT operation light environment, the more complex and changeable light environment of the VDT workspace may have multiple compound effects on the work efficiency and physical and mental health of operators (Ranasinghe et al, 2016). However, previous studies on the characteristics of "learning" in video game training mainly focused on the game type (Bediou et al, 2018), training time , and the age of the player (Cardoso-Leite et al, 2021), etc. Although many effects of video game training have been confirmed, there are few studies on whether the game environment, that is, the light environment of the e-sports VDT operation space, affects the "learning to learn" effect of video game training.…”

In recent years, the role of video games in enhancing brain plasticity and learning ability has been verified, and this learning transfer is known as the “learning to learn” effect of video game training. At the same time, against the background of healthy lighting, the influence of non-visual effects of light environment on the human rhythmic system has been gradually confirmed. As a special operation form of Visual Display Terminal (VDT) operation, video game training has a high dependence on VDT equipment and the VDT screen, and the background usually has a huge difference in brightness. Compared with the light environment of ordinary operation space, the light environment of VDT operation space is more complex. This complex light environment's non-visual effects cause human emotions, alertness, fatigue, cognitive ability, and other changes, which may affect the efficiency of the “learning to learn” effect of video game training. This article focuses on the impact of the light environment in the VDT workspace on the “learning to learn” effect of video game training. It first traces the factors that trigger the “learning to learn” effect of video game training, that is, the improvement of people's attention, perception, and cognitive ability. Then, the influencing mechanism and the evaluation method of the VDT workspace space light environment on the human rhythm system are discussed based on the basic theory of photobiological effect. In addition, the VDT display lighting light time pattern, photophysical properties, regulation, and protection mechanism on the human rhythm system are studied to demonstrate the VDT workspace light environment's special characteristics. Finally, combined with the progress of artificial lighting technology and the research results of health lighting, given the “learning to learn” effect of video game training, some thoughts on the design of the light environment of the workplace and future research directions are presented.
